===The Network Control Program===

Although ARPANET was already operational in 1969, Lawrence Roberts, IPTO's Senior Computer Scientist met with the NWG in UTAH and he emphasized that they need further achievement. He provided guidance to the group to develop a viable network protocol. In 1971, the group was able to create the Network Protocol Program ([[NCP]]), which became the standard networking program for the ARPANET. <ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_ncp.htm Network Control Program]</ref> NCP's main function is to establish, break and switch connections, and control flow of communications between different host computer systems.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_arpanet.htm ARPANET-The First Internet]</ref> There were already 15 sites connected to the NCP during the latter part of 1971.
